The Dependency Villain

That villainous grin you see? That's the face of a developer who's about to "modernize" a critical library by replacing simple binary operations with 17 layers of abstraction, five design patterns, and a dependency on three blockchain networks. The best part? Your entire codebase relies on this library, and the migration guide is just a README that says "should be backward compatible" followed by a winky face emoji. The horror isn't that they're reinventing the wheel—it's that they're replacing it with a quantum-levitating hovercraft that requires a PhD to operate and crashes if Mercury is in retrograde.

When Your Code Stays Monochrome

That moment when your IDE doesn't highlight your syntax and you just know something's broken. Modern developers have become so dependent on syntax highlighting that plain text code feels like trying to read ancient hieroglyphics with sunglasses on. The sixth sense of every programmer isn't ESP—it's detecting errors before the compiler even gets a chance. If your code stays black when it should be a rainbow of function names, strings, and keywords, you might as well start debugging before you even hit run.
